how to tell php to ignore html-style comment?

hello, I use Dreamweaver for making HTML pages, it does not help a much for using php ( it does for ColdFusion and ASP ) . Happily, php3 uses le <script ...> syntax and the ASP one, this help for introduce the php text without letting Dreamweaver destroy it because he think it's HTML errors! But there is still a problem, when we use DreamWeaver Templates ( we use this feature a intensively ), he puts some HTML comments in the pages dependents of a model, something like " <!-- #Begin...... --> " The problem is that he always put a line of this kind in top and nothing can make him change this behaviour. So i can not send "cookies" nor "Location" ... What i want to do is to create a page from a Template where this is some php code and to let my co-workers change the appearance of the pages without having special operations to do. So i decided to add a little Feature to php that will make him not send HTML comment to STDOUT or at least not send the Dreamweaver kind of comments. I read some pages about Flex and i added this lines to "language-scanner.c" before all the <IN_PHP> and it doesn't work someone could help, please? <INITIAL>"\<\!\-\-" { char c; int start_lineno; start_lineno=GLOBAL(phplineno); for (;;) { while ((c=MY_INPUT())!='\-' && c!=EOF) { HANDLE_NEWLINE(c); } if ((c == '\-') && ((c=MY_INPUT()) == '\-')){ while ((c=MY_INPUT())=='\-'); if (c=='\>') { html_puts(yytext,yyleng); break; } } if (c==EOF) { php3_error(E_WARNING,"Unterminated comment starting line %d.\n",php3_get_lineno(start_lineno)); break; } else { HANDLE_NEWLINE(c); } } } Hamdouni El Bachir
